Chapter Fourteen
The wedding was a simple affair, contrary to Kelita's birthday, which had taken place just four weeks before. On a whim, D had invited his whole team, rented a hot tub, and gone all out for it. A pool party was just the thing. Kelita had taken an instant liking to Bobby, who took sheer delight in tossing her up in the air and then letting her fall back down into the pool. She'd climb up on his shoulders and do backflips in the water, until D (with a smile on his face) proclaimed that was enough. Both pouted until they took notice of the huge ice-cream cake, and raced each other to the table. The rest of the team looked on, grinning.
As for the wedding, it had been quick, yet beautiful. The team and family members were the extent of the guests, and the reception consisted of a massive barbeque in D's backyard. He and Kaylee had previously decided to pass on the honeymoon, claiming they wanted to spend all the time they could with their new daughter; the adoption had flown by without a hitch.
As the guests began to dissipate, the party slowed some, and soon, D and Kaylee were alone. He no sooner said goodbye to his team than he pulled his new wife into his arms and kissed her lingeringly. "Hi."
She grinned. "Hi, yourself."
He slipped his arm around her waist. "So, what next?" he asked teasingly.
"I don't know," she teased back, playing along. "I'm thinking… a trip."
"I have a nice job, but I'm not rich," he protested. "Just kidding, Kay."
Kaylee laughed. "I know." Her face grew serious. "I want kids."
His brows rose. "You do, do you? How many?"
"Six."
He choked. "What?"
She nudged him playfully. "Haha. Maybe three."
"More?"
"What'sa matter? That not enough?"
He took one look at her halter top, jean shorts, and perfectly done-up hair, and picked her up, heading toward the pool.
"D!" She squirmed, failing miserably. "Let me go!"
He tossed her in the pool and watched in amusement as she came up sputtering for air. "What?"
She grabbed his ankle and dragged him in after her. "You goon."
He grinned. "You love me."
"I guess."
He dunked her.
"Okay," she gasped, "I love you."
"I know." He kissed her then, raising his hands to frame her face. "I love you, too."
